Useful Flex/Java Integration Resources

It feels very natural to me to develop applications with Flex for the client-side and have these rich Flash-executed clients run against a back-end developed in Java EE. This blog entry contains useful links and references to resources and articles regarding use of Java with Flex and includes what I like about each resource. This blog entry may be updated occasionally as I come across useful Java/Flex resources. I do not intend to update the date on this entry so that it remains at this link.

Hybridizing Java (30 January 2007)This Bruce Eckel weblog entry was a wake-up call for many Java developers (myself included) who had previously considered Flash/Flex as not much more than a gimmick platform/language rather than as a real programming platform/language.

Data Services Made Easy for Adobe Flex Applications (11 September 2007)This article outlines a framework for working with two freely available and commonly used means of communication between a Flex front-end and a Java back-end: HTTPService and WebService.
